Nocom has a pretty LOW bottom bracket. It's still above the seat, but my heels are pretty close to the ground with 170mm cranks. It could be a little more laid-back, but then it would need a longer wheelbase. The biggest problem I see with it is that Kamil used a lot of kevlar for safety instead of more carbon; so the bike isn't nearly as stiff as a Morciglio. The cushy frame soaks up a bit of power. My M5CHR is actually faster than my Nocom because of the frame stiffness.
